HELP WITH NEOPETS SITE !!

Hi,My daughter is having problems with Neopets.com . She keeps getting an error message. I have posted below the instructions below from the Neopets site. I did the XP suggestion and it still isn't working. Please Help! Any Suggestions???INSTRUCTIONS:Oops you have been directed to this page from the wrong place! If you KEEP getting this error, chances are you have some security settings enabled that are not letting you play Neopets correctly.

This is usually caused by your computer having a Firewall or your security settings not being configured to work with the Neopets.com website. Not to worry, though! The below information should be able to help. Please read the following carefully and try each of the suggested tips. If all goes well, you should be surfing around Neopia in no time!

Firewall
Is it possible that you have a firewall such as Norton Internet Securities set up in your home or office? The firewall will block your computer from being able to access Neopets properly. You can try turning off the firewall temporarily for the duration of time you are using the Neopets website. Please check with your parents or administrators beforehand for permission.

If you have Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall 2004, you can change these settings in order to fix the problem.

<LI>Start Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall.</LI><LI>Click Ad Blocking, then click the yellow Configure button. The Ad Blocking window appears.</LI><LI>Click Advanced.

Windows XP and Internet ExplorerAre you perhaps using the latest version of Internet Explorer or Windows XP? If you have Windows XP, following these instructions should make the pages viewable:

Re: HELP WITH NEOPETS SITE !!

Sschmidt , Try this. Go to your Zone Alarm Pro Privacy &gt; Site List, click on the 'add' button, enter www.neopets.comthen click 'ok'. Now locate the site you just entered on the Site List, right click on it and select 'options'. Next go through all three tabs to uncheck everything and click 'apply' as you go through each tab. Now clean your browser cache and try the site again.

post back and if it won't solve the problem maybe someone else will have a fix

Re: HELP WITH NEOPETS SITE !!

Yes!! It worked. Actually I had already added Neopets to the Privacy site list, I just didn't know that by right clicking I would receive more options!!!Thank you !!! Thank you!! Now my daughter will stop driving me crazy!!!Sandy
